Last night in the street collapsed on itself
|
In fact, it broke right in two
|
And I fell in
|
The strawberry vines
|
Into a pool of strawberry wine
|
Strawberry wine and clouds
|
Burning in the desert, surrounded in flowers
|
But the stems broke the armor
|
And the morning comes
|
Until its all just the same things again
|
Oh god,
|
Don't spend too much time on the other side
|
Let the daylight in,
|
Before you get old and you cant break out of it
|
|
My old friend,
|
Cause its getting winter, and if you want any flowers
|
You gotta get your seeds in
|
And I worry about you, why? because you want me to
|
|
Can you still have any famous last words
|
If you're nobody somebody nobody knows,
|
I don't know
|
Somebody go and ask Clair
|
She's been dead twenty years just look at her hair
|
Strawberry blonde with curls
|
She gets hair done then she gossips
|
With the younger waitress girls at the bar
|
The old Irish rose
|
Drinking strawberry wine
|
Until it comes out her nose
|
She spent too much time on the other side,
|
And she forgot to let the daylight in
|
|
Before you get old you'd better break out of it
|
My old friend,
|
Cause its getting winter and if you want any flowers
|
You gotta get your seeds in to the ground,
|
And I worry about you,
|
Why because you want me too
|
|
This fella downtown, he jumped off a bridge
|
He was angry about a letter he received from his friend
|
He fell in
|
To the arms of the most beautiful girls
|
That have ever lived in the history of the world
|
|
And with nothing left to lose he got screwed
|
He sold his apartment before they made him move
|
Then he jumped straight in
|
To the san Francisco bay
|
Now he lives on Molly's farm
|
Picking berries all day
|
|
Don't spend too much time on the other side
|
Let the daylight in
|
|
Marty was a kid when he learned steal boats
|
His dad was a deejay on the radio
|
He fell in
|
To a life
|
Of riverboat crime
|
Now has the man you see in prison
|
If you want strawberry wine
|
Strawberry wine and smokes
|
He sent a letter to his friend
|
Explaining one night on coke
|
He and Clair
|
Jumped in to the strawberry vines
|
And lord knows you get lost
|
On that strawberry wine
|
|
Don't spend too much time on the other side,
|
Let the daylight in
|
|
And imp getting old and I gotta break out of it
|
My old friend,
|
Cause its getting winter and if I want any flowers
|
I gotta get those seeds in to the ground,
|
And if you worry about me
|
Don't bother
|
Why?
|
Ill be fine
|
Imp just sitting here laughing
|
Little old me and my
|
Strawberry wine
|
